Answer:

(5, 15)

Explanation:

To solve the system of equations:

Y = 3x

Y = 9x - 30

We can set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x:

3x = 9x - 30

Subtracting 3x from both sides, we have:

0 = 6x - 30

Adding 30 to both sides, we get:

30 = 6x

Dividing both sides by 6, we find:

5 = x

Now that we have the value of x, we can substitute it back into one of the original equations to find the value of y:

Y = 3x

Substituting x = 5, we have:

Y = 3 * 5

Y = 15
